SUMMARY
Arc Studio turns a natural-language prompt into an exportable onchain application. The team behind it joined us for a conversation about starting an onchain project: what to describe in a prompt, how apps and smart contracts fit together, and where Arc Studio can help in the development process. They also discussed what the team wants to improve for builders, followed by live community Q&A.
Transactions on mainnet involve real funds and, once submitted, are irreversible. Arc Studio may generate or edit code or configuration that references mainnet, but Arc Studio does not deploy to, transact on, sign for, fund, or otherwise interact with mainnet on your behalf. Any code used for mainnet must be independently reviewed, tested, validated, deployed, and operated by you outside of Arc Studio. You are solely responsible for any losses, errors, or other consequences resulting from your use of any code, configuration, or output generated or edited through Arc Studio in connection with mainnet. Before proceeding, you should first use testnet, obtain an independent professional audit, and carefully review all wallet addresses, contract addresses, chain settings, permissions, and other configuration details. Only continue to mainnet after you have completed your independent review and have determined that you want to proceed.
